and oregon, city living is becoming passé, people realizing it is too expensive and dangerous to raise families in urban areas. we have seen crime rates explode in these places, double digit murder rates in chicago and new york at the same places saying they are going to defund their own police department, many families terrified to leave their houses and when the middle class leaves, not the rich who will be hurt but the poor and the most vulnerable who can't afford to move. rob: let's bring up some information on mail forwarding requests from new york city and it shows if you go back to march and april, triple the request. that is covid-19. you think all these people who pulled out of the city because of this virus are seeing the situation devol thing.

they have to raise taxes so you've got to raise it even further for lower quality of life. what will happen in these big cities that haven't had the revenue if they start pumping up taxes for people wanting to leave, it will be exacerbating the problem. >> it is tragic what is happening in the nation's great city. this is a trend of the apps exodus happening as the cost of living has increased and quality-of-life declined but covid-19 accelerated the trend and i expect it to get worse as corporations follow suit and leave as well. for many there is no reason to stick around in these urban areas and it is really sad, new york and la, we don't want this. todd: rob: the new york post, if you had a question, bill diblasio, post begging him to do something, crime out of control,

trial, in the forefront people working, joe biden, it is proven, especially swing state voters the biden campaign needs to be worried that once people start paying attention a little more, corrupt joe biden might stick. jillian: because we are talking about the president's attack dog style how do you feel about his behavior on twitter, tweeting about bubba wallace at a time when a lot of americans are craving unity is this a good tactic? >> i heard multiple things from voters. it depends who you are talking to. if you talk to women they do not like donald trump's twitter style. if you talk to rust belt middle-aged men they love that

donald trump says they wish they could say, he doesn't hold anything back and keeps fighting the fight. it depends what the path to victory is a let's orally for the president. it may be one of those, going that style. donald trump's style, it is what you get. it doesn't appeal to some voters but does appeal to others. rob: always good for a comment, senator kennedy from louisiana had this to say. >> the vice president says he will transform america. he will. and the american people will pay a fearsome price. his foreign-policy is hugs and hot cocoa for america's enemies. if he is advice use bill a fallout shelter.

>> the trump campaign says biden is soft on china and they really push that and seem to have a lot of proof. what do you think? >> joe biden will have a lot to reckon with which he was part of the obama administration, reset with russia and we see how that went. this is why i said debates matter. we need to have a comparison of these two debating foreign policies, you see the differences between the candidates. carley: i like hugs and hot cocoa. shouldn't run for president. rob: good to see you. 26 after the hour. the nasdaq hit an all-time high as the country continues covid-19 recovery. it is part of a string of good economic news despite a lot of negative headlines. he put it in perspective. jillian: a close call caught on camera. a rockslide that nearly flat the

and sexually abusing them including epstein, her former boyfriend. gloria already represent 16 alleged victims. one of them is alicia arden who says epstein sexually assaulted her in santa monica, california in 1997. she filed a police report with the santa monica police department which apparently was never investigated. already calling on printed route to speak with federal prosecutors in new york before it is too late. >> if i were president i would want to speak to the prosecutors before miss maxwell to the prosecutors, the clock is ticking. she could decide to speak to them at any time. >> reporter: according to the sun, maxwell's arrest has the prince feeling merit after admitting in an interview that maxwell, quote, key elements with epstein, has not been charged in the investigation and denied any wrongdoing which

maxwell's first court date is next tuesday, a week from today. prosecutors say maxwell's welcome international connections and free passport makes her an extreme flight risk. todd: after months of market uncertainty the nasdaq closes at a historic high. also on the heels of last week's record-setting jobs report. >> reporter: that americans see these as signs the economy is rebounding? the chair of the business and financial program at kings college in new york city, professor brian bradford joins us to weigh in. how do you feel about the economy? why are we seeing such significant gains when we are seeing a spike in coronavirus cases? >> reporter: what we've seen are surprisingly good reports,

starting with the jobs report last week, but away expectations but that is one of many reports that have been good, consumer spending very strong, manufacturing has come back, services sector, leisure and hospitality, vacation has come back, we see the economy surprised to the upside time and again and that is why the stock market is so high, the american people seem to be getting back after it faster than thought so that is good news, we are dealing with a lot of coronavirus spiking that so far hasn't seemed to dampen people's desire to get back to work or employer's ability to hire them. the question is will they continue? todd: the nasdaq is up 226, the dow up 2% and the s&p up one.5%. do you really think the stock market is in touch with reality? people worry what the fall will look like, will these kids go

back to school to see the market exploding like this, says work on apple, amazon, these numbers are so high. is that in touch? >> markets are always looking ahead at what is "happening now," making predictions for the future holes. rob: the future is the fall. people are nervous about 6 months from now. >> we have heard time and again how nervous people are. even back in april we were talking how nervous people were going to be in may and june but what is interesting is when we got to may and june we saw consumers going back. there is a question, to the headlines we see about coronavirus case count reflects what people on the ground are actually doing? how much are people acting on that? what the data said is people are more willing to get back at it,

we don't know what is going to happen in the fall. we are seeing people aren't exhibiting the kind of fear in the economy we thought they were, devon better economic outcomes which translated into the nasdaq, the s&p, hitting levels we did not expect at this point. jillian: mitch mcconnell said the next coronavirus bill could include another round of stimulus checks, do you think there should be another stimulus bill? a lot of republicans are concerned about the price tag. >> the price tag matters. we spent $3 trillion of money we don't have. we've got to be careful about this. at this point the key to recovery, forget relief or stimulus and talk about recovery, helping people get back to work. i'm looking for policies that help people do they whether ith is a payroll tax cut that is the cost of hiring or protections for businesses from frivolous lawsuits so they are not stuck in court spending money there. these are the things that could

help, stimulus checks are tricky, last round we send a lot of money to people who needed it, probably a lot of money to people who didn't need it. if we do that this time it has to go to the people who are really in dire straits. we were not able to do that last time but it matters when you spent $3 trillion, you can't keep piling trillions on top of that. >> the debt is something people like to ignore but good to bring it up once in a wild. carley: suspects accused of killing jamal khashoggi, 25 russians linked to the death of lawyer sergey megnitschke, an american resident was killed in 2018 in the saudi consulate in his temple, his remains have ever been found in the saudi government denies involvement. in 2009, he was beaten and left
